From one terminal oi the primary of the'second set a wire leads to one terminal roe of the secondary of the second set, the other terminal of the-secondary being connected to the aerial conductor. The flowof the current, therefore; will. be as follows: Through the vibrator and battery interrupted impulses will flow in the primary B as soon as the key is depressed. These impulses will induce rap- "tel'egraphy the generated "impulsesshonld beof as high intensity as possible; but as the coil in which such high impulses are generated or induced should be as far removed from the ground its-possible I constructtheifirst set of converting or induction coils in a manner so that the generated secondary impnlses'are of lower intensity than is necessary for practical telegraph y'or glow in the vacuum-globe, These impulses of comparative low intensity are transmittedwit-h-the aid of metallic rope or cable to the primary in the basket of the "ba'lloonrtirewecondary of which iswfo'undin a manner so as to translatethe low-current vaves into currents of such high intensity as is necessary for space telegraphy. This arrangemcnt allows the employment of only one eond noting-wire from the captive balloon or kite to the ground, a very important point in dealing with currents of the necessary high frequency and potential and one which does notneed further explanation for persons versed in the art. 4
